Hello, Clarenville!

We are absolutely thrilled to launch this blog and officially launch this website to The Loft—the Clarenville and Area Community Youth Network (CYN)!

If you haven’t yet stopped by our physical space (and you totally should!), consider this your first peek into what we’re all about:
a safe, inclusive, and fun space built entirely for you—the young people of Clarenville and surrounding communities.
More Than Just a Hangout Spot.

Yes, we have awesome games, comfy couches, and free Wi-Fi.
But The Loft is so much more than that.
As a Community Youth Network, we are dedicated to helping youth aged 11 to 18 thrive by focusing on four key pillars of success:

Learning:📚
Need a quiet place to study? Need help polishing that resume?

Support:
We’ve got you covered with homework support and skill-building workshops.🤝

We offer peer support, mentorship, and a safe place to talk.

We are committed to fostering positive mental health and well-being.

From financial literacy workshops to career exploration sessions, we help you prepare for life after high school.

Fun and Recreation: Because everyone deserves to let loose!🎉 
We host events, sports, themed nights, and  free drop-in access.

The Inspiring Story Behind Our Doors:

The Loft exists because our community recognizes the incredible potential in every young person here.
We know that when youth are given the tools, resources, and a supportive environment, there's no limit to what they can achieve.

Our mission is simple:
To remove barriers, empower youth voices, and build strong leaders for tomorrow.
Every snack we serve, every workshop we host, and every laugh shared is an investment in your future.

Did You Know?

All our drop-in programs are 100% free!

There’s no membership fee, no hidden cost—just an open door and a welcoming staff.

Get Involved! We Need YOU!

This space is yours, and we want you to help shape it!

Stop by during our drop-in hours! Bring a friend, share your ideas for new programs, or just come and grab a snack. Youth

Parents & Community Members: We rely on volunteers and local partnerships to keep our mission going strong.
